WATCH Are We Cocreators of Reality? Quantum Mechanics to Chronon Field Theory (with Maia Ece Ergönenç)
40 years ago, I suggested that the brain is electrochemically built to perceive only collapsed (pointer) states. It filters out the other eigenstates (the state vector is replete with a deterministic collapse state which is the only one detected by the brain in any reduction of the superposition).
In my work, all states are of equal ontological status and equally available for measurement. Yet, the brain (or the measurement devices or the observer, animate or not) select only one state at a time. Why is that?
Why the apparently privileged position of collapsed (pointer) states as far as our brain/consciousness/mind/measurement? Because they are relatively stable and increase order (negentropy). All other states are fleeting. They immediately decay and degenerate, ending up in entropy.
The universe seems to have a preference for negentropy at least locally.
All this can be captured using information theory and thermodynamics coupled with dynamics of complex systems (mainly attractors, especially strange ones, both chaotic and nonchaotic).
The collapsed state would be the signal (order, negentropy) and the non-collapsed states would be the noise (entropy).
if we were to construct an implantable computer chip that would allow the brain to perceive the entire wave function rather than merely the collapsed states, we would be creating a powerful quantum computer with each neuron a qubit.
I am working on the mathematics of such a PLL chip (using also strange attractors for the pointer states and Strange Nonchaotic Attractors (SNAs) for the non-reduced eigenstates which are treated as noise with Sinai–Ruelle–Bowen probability measures).
The chip is a PLL (filter). It will not INTERACT with non-collapsed states in the Newtonian sense. All the eigenstates are already specified very accurately by the equation, so there is no need to interact with them, to detect them.
The chip will just to cause the brain to perceive all states as if they were collapsed (pointer) states (to “deceive” the brain by constructing a virtual reality in which all the states are collapsed). In other words: the brain will not reduce the eigenvector to a single collapsed state but to multiple “collapsed” (measurable) states. This would require a deterministic formalism of quantum mechanics (the wave function already is deterministic, actually).
Such a multiplication of collapsed states will exponentially explode the brain’s computing prowess: it would be able to calculate, weigh scenarios, and zero in on solution along an infinite number of branches. The brain would be rendered a quantum computer of immense – literally infinite – power with 70-80 billion qubits at its disposal (the current record is 6000).
